Daily Devotionals are based on
the book
"A Confession a Day Keeps the Devil Away"
January's study is on:
The Word
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1)
God took nothing and from nothing He created the universe.
How did He create it? From Hebrews 11:3 we get the important clue which can unlock the entire Bible to you in a totally new and different way: "By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of the things which are visible."
By the WORD of God. Not by the hands of God. Not by the feet of God. Not by the mind of God. Not by the Power of God, but BY THE WORD OF GOD.
We can create a whole new world for ourselves by speaking the WORD of God for our lives!
It's one thing to read the Word of God, it's another thing to memorize the Word of God, but when you possess it, what you're saying is, it's mine, it's mine, it's mine! I take it for myself!

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."
II Timothy 3:16
Father, I praise you that there is no guesswork with scripture. I thank you for the knowledge that every single word has been given by inspiration of God. I thank you that you had many purposes in inspiring those men of old to write down your thoughts, because it establishes doctrine, creed and dogma or us. I praise you, Father, that your Word has power to rebuke, admonish and censure us. I bless you that when I get out of line, your Word is right there to correct me and get me straightened out again, but most of all, Father, I bless you for giving me instructions on how to live in the beauty of your righteousness! Glory, I'm walking in righteousness!

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."
Mark 13:31
Father, how I praise you because the things of this world are transient -- friends are transient, possessions are subject to change, but your Word is not! I bless you that even though everything else goes down the drain, your words shall remain forever and forever. Thank you, Father, that we come into this world in a perishable container which we know won't last forever, but you have given us something to put into that temporary housing that will last eternally, and that is your Word! Bless you, Father, that even when the storms of life are thundering all around us and it looks as though everything may fall apart, that I can stand on the secure knowledge that your words shall never pass away!
If you have never asked Jesus into your heart, why don't you stop right now, and say this simple little prayer.
Father, I want eternal life. It is the desire of my heart, but I know that I have done things that are not pleasing to you. I have sinned, and I ask your forgiveness. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Jesus, I open the door to my heart and my life and invite you to come in. Take control of my entire life, and make me the kind of person you want me to be. Now I thank you, Jesus, for hearing my prayer and for coming into my heart as you promised. I love you, Jesus!
Now confess with your mouth these beautiful words: I'M SAVED, I'M SAVED, I'M SAVED!
